latest titan ROM

Sorry I didn't search guys... But real quick, what is the latest Titan ROM & where can I get it? I'm currently running the old 2.14 ROM. What are the advantages of upgrading to the new one? Excuse my noobedness... lol

Oh, my provider is ALLTEL by the way...

Latest ROM
Well the latest TITAN ROM is Sprints 3.35 available at the HTC America page, but if your looking for something to work with alltel you'll have to go see whats been cooked up by folks like DCD or NEX....

You can save alot of time just by doing a search (at least try to do a search first)
Check the Titan Upgrades forum for all the information you need.

Thanks. I looked in there but I was a little confused about if carrier mattered. Thanks!

I really shouldn't do this since I'm a Sprint guy but it doesn't look like there is much Alltel help around here. The steps are fairly simple ( make SURE you double check on the upgrade threads)
1. Write down all your phone info (MSID, etc.) in case you need to reprogram the phone later.
2. Upgrade to the latest Sprint ROM (this is basically to get the new Radio with GPS capability)
3. Load SPL 2.40-olipro bootloader (Extremely important! - DO NOT attempt to load a custom ROM without this bootloader installed)
4. Load any Custom ROM you want (most Custom and Kitchen ROMs will have an Alltel specific ROM)
Enjoy.
(just to be safe, if you are running Windows, I'd do this on a XP machine.)

read what x10dude said, but mentally replace "Alltel" with "Bell"

Roll-back from Verizon Official WM 6.1 ROM & GPS

I foolishly upgraded to the recently released WM 6.1 ROM from Verizon, apparently Verizon's locked down the GPS so you can only use VZNavigator. There's a work-around, but I still like my custom ROM better anyway.
So, my question is, once I ran the Verizon ROM did it update the firmware for the GPS chipset and this that what locks down the GPS, or do they do that in windows? Can I go back to a custom ROM and have a working GPS, or do I need to (and can I) re-flash with another carrier's ROM first to roll-back firmware in GPS?

What? Every user with the VZW ROM has GPS, including myself. Where did you get the ROM from?

GPS never worked on my XV6900 with the VZW ROM...
See this thread here for info on making the GPS work http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=424387, and an article here http://www.phonenews.com/verizons-htc-xv6900-update-packs-punch-were-offering-it-early-5417/ dated 11/11/08 - maybe I'm missing something though (maybe I'm in the wrong forum? )
I've since tried using an older alltel ROM, then going back to my cooked ROM with no luck. I seem to recall reading somewhere though that it wasn't necessarily a good idea to roll back firmware, so I re-ran the VZW rom, skipped customizations, then put a cooked ROM back on, tried this fix http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=VerizonAGPSFix, which worked previously, but still no luck.

Newbie Question about Upgrading Radio... XV6900

I currently have a xv6900 and I have the "newest" verizon radio. I put newest in quotes because I have Radio 3.37.78 . I've seen other radios that are higher but they are on different Carriers. Can/should I upgrade and would it have any adverse effects?

Can you? Yes. Should you? not necessarily... just because the number is higher, doesn't mean it is newer. I would stick to what you've got for a radio unless a newer radio comes out that actually fixes or changes something.

If you're thinking about flashing custom roms, then upgrade. If not, then stay with what you got.

help with my internet didnt know where to post
so i have htc xv6900 from verizon. i have it flashed for cricket and the internet was fine but i love messing with phones lol so i ended up flashing my rom to the wm 6.5(sprint htc touch pro) and had to get a program to get the unlock code to get into my ##778# and the info is right but my data connection is not going through #777 which it was at first so is there a program or app that i can run to connect or sprints code or jus something to get internet back to my phone thank you sorry if i post it in the wrong place

I have a Verizon XV6900 also, same radio as yours and i am using custom roms just fine, didn't need to upgrade radio, but also i am not screwing with GPS setting either.

Possible to install stock T-Mo US ROM on UK G1?

Hello all,
I am attempting to install the stock T-Mo US ROM onto a T-Mo UK G1. I have been using it for about a year with the dev phone ROM and it works fine on the T-Mo US 3G. Now I've switched to a different phone and I want to sell the G1, but I want to install the stock T-Mo ROM so it will have access to OTA, full market, and carrier customizations.
When I try to flash the RC29 DREAMIMG.nbh it gives me an error, probably because the phone has a different hardware ID (DREA110 for UK vs. DREA100 for US). I have tried installing it from the dev phone bootloader, I have gone back to the stock bootloader, tried using a goldcard, I'm hitting a dead end now.
Any suggestions? It seems there must be some way to bypass the hardware ID check since the dev phone ROM and customized ROMs will work.
Thanks in advance!
P.S. It will load the UK RC7 ROM, so I'm fairly certain it is just the hardware ID that is the limitation.

I finally got it working. If anyone else is trying to do this, use HardSPL and it will work fine.

G2 Touch Hero - Help needed re. android & 3 network

Hi,
I have the G2 Touch hero on t-mobile. It has been unlocked. It currently shows as ROM version 2.73.405.5, Android 1.5.
I want to start using on 3 Network, I have their internet / phone / text package.
I'm very new to this, so please can someone help me and point me in the right direction, as I would like to know the following;
1. How do I upgrade to android 2.1.
2. How do I get the 3 portal stuff to be on the phone when I switch on each time, as I would if it was a 3 phone. In other words switch on as on 3, not t-mobile.
Many thanks for your help.

Use BTDAGs guide linked in my signature to find out how to install custom ROMs.
As yet there are no 3 customised 2.1 ROMs.
You can get the 3UK customised 1.5 ROM in update.zip format from here...
MoDaCo'S Stock ROMs + radios in update.zip format for GSM Hero
Or just use any custom 2.1 ROM and search "3 uk skype apk" and "3 uk MSN apk" for those two apps,... not sure if there are others you may want/need?

Hi ddotpatel,
If I don't use a custom rom, because I find it difficult to do, can I just get an "official" 2.1 upgrade for the phone via t-mobile or 3 network. Which would I need, as its a t-mobile phone, with a 3 sim?
Thank you,

Now Im not 100% on this.. but would the t-mobile phone not tell the update server it needs the t-mobile update regardless of the sim thats in it?
.. for example.. Ive got an unbranded hero.. with an orange sim.. but I got the unbranded update pushed through to me.

Indeed that sounds about right to me,....
There are no UK branded TMobile or 3UK 2.1 ROMs yet, they always take longer to be released. If you dont want to use custom ROMs, and are happy to NOT have root access, you can run the official RUU .exe filefor 3UK from [ROM] Official HTC Hero RUU ROM + Radio Links . This will install android 1.5 (3UK customised) and have your phone set up for updates.
WARNING,.... You might not be able to use custom ROMs ever again once updated to official 2.1.
